Numeric.boundedInclusive(lower, upper) (and excl) #203

Closed fommil closed 9 years ago

fommil commented 9 years ago

it would be great to be able to write

num.boundedInclusive(10, 100)

instead of the confusing (backward feeling)

(10 max num) min 100

What do you expect boundedExclusive to be defined as ? boundedInclusive(lower + one, upper - one) ? (with '+', '-', and 'one' coming from Numeric).

come into my web, said the spider... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Introduction-Metric-Topological-Spaces-Mathematics/dp/019956308X

hehe, but back to the ticket... perhaps having an "exclusive" bounded just confuses things. The user can always calculate inclusive bounds. That might mean that bounded is a good name for the method.

hmm, this does open up the possibility of creating a method with that great Scottish word "outwith".
